You are absolutely right. I use my scale as a tool but do not allow it to be the "be-all" or "end-all" of my life. I weigh regularly almost every day and sometimes more than once a day, BUT I never record or obsess about the normal daily fluctuations of the numbers, just try to keep it within a certain range and to keep moving that range downward as I go along. So the couple of pounds that glom onto my body because I didn't sleep well, ate too much salt, or drank too much water don't become an issue. BUT the scale trending to larger numbers rather than a one or two day weird jump is a 'nother story altogether, that requires a whole new assessment of eating, exercise and sleeping habits. That is why I am always thrilled if when I am away, I return and find my scales still in my range and not obscenely higher or trending upward. As a tool the scale is still one of my most useful but it doesn't define me.1592 days ago
